Premium Member motopumps Posted March 14, 2019 Author Premium Member Share Posted March 14, 2019 Got a bit more done and have mounted the frame on the bike with a VStream Sport Touring Shield. Please excuse the crappy pix and rough finish on the mount. Still prototyping. Very stiff and looks good with proper clearance from shield and enough room for your hand below the bar to adjust the height of the shield. Still working on the design for the GPS mount that attaches to the cross bar. It has a standard AMPs bolt pattern so my Zumo 550 cradle will attach. Going to make it out of Delrin and probably also a version out of 6061 to compare. Delrin is about half the weight, and strength is not an issue in this application. Have made the cross bar mount wider as of this evening. Rob 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you didn't originally say that, I think he thought it was an off the shelf product available to purchase for our bikes. I thought the same thing. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracerracer Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 @bowlin01 Sorry, it ain't gonna happen. He build some mounts but refuse to do more, money will not motivate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member motopumps Posted April 1, 2019 Author Premium Member Share Posted April 1, 2019 Ok, did a bit more work this weekend with the prototype on the bike, blind rivet nuts for the cross bar and a better finish. Wired the GPS cradle into one of the spare power sources under the instrument cluster. Ready for actual testing on the road to check vibrations, ease of windshield adjustment, etc. Should be able to ride again when it stops snowing mid-week. Here are a few pix: Installed on bike, no GPS or windshield With GPS mount and cradle installed on cross bar With GPS attached Windshield reinstalled. From the cockpit Still easy to adjust the windshield height. Nice line-of-sight view of the GPS. Happy so far. Will let you all know how it is when riding. Stay tuned.

Original Yamaha FJ-09 MT-09 Tracer 900 GPS Phone Holder, CosmoMotoAccessories WWW.EBAY.COM This holder can be installed with any windshield. Very easy to fit! | eBay! Mine is a 2015 FJ09. Don't think it fits the new Tracer or Tracer GT. This has worked well for me over the last year. I have this on my FJ as well and love it. very solid. I am always open to new farkle though....
